Nnwom 21
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, ɔhene no anigye wɔ wʼahoɔden mu. Nʼani gye mmorosoɔ wɔ nkonimdie a wo ma no nti!
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation.
2 Woama no deɛ nʼakoma pɛ; woamfa nʼabisadeɛ ankame no.
You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Wode nhyira a ɛdi mu hyiaa no na wode sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ahenkyɛ hyɛɛ no.
For You put blessings of goodness before him, You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 Ɔbisaa wo hɔ nkwa, na wode maa no, nna tentene a ɛnni awieeɛ.
He has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.
5 Nkonimdie a woma no enti, nʼanimuonyam so; wode kɛseyɛ ne anidie adom no.
Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, You place splendor and majesty on him.
6 Ampa ara, woama no nhyira a ɛnsa da na wo nsrahwɛ ama me ho ahosɛpɛ me.
For You make him blessings forever, You cause him to rejoice with joy, By Your countenance.
7 Ɔhene no de ne ho to Awurade so; Ɔsorosoroni no nokorɛ dɔ no enti, Ɔhene renhinhim.
For the king is trusting in YHWH, And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved.
8 Wo nsa bɛka wʼatamfoɔ nyinaa; wo nsa nifa bɛsɔ wɔn a wɔkyiri woɔ mu.
Your hand comes to all Your enemies, Your right hand finds Your haters.
9 Ɛberɛ a wobɛyi wo ho adi no wobɛyɛ wɔn sɛ fononoo a emu adɔ. Awurade firi nʼabufuhyeɛ mu bɛmene wɔn, na ne ogya no ahye wɔn.
You make them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, And fire devours them.
10 Wobɛtɔre wɔn ase wɔ asase so, na wɔn asefoɔ afiri adasamma mu.
You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons of men.
11 Ɛwom sɛ wɔbɔ pɔ tia wo na wɔyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ bɔne, nanso wɔrenni nkonim;
For they stretched out evil against You, They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail,
12 ɛfiri sɛ wobɛma wɔasane wɔn akyi ɛberɛ a woatwe bɛmma akyerɛ wɔn so.
For You make them turn their back, When You prepare Your strings against their faces.
13 Yɛma wo so, Ao Awurade, wɔ wʼahoɔden mu; yɛbɛto nnwom na yɛakamfo wo kɛseyɛ.
Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, We sing and we praise Your might!
